Question

Median is also called ______ in an equilateral triangle.

Answer 1

Median is also called altitude in an equilateral triangle.

Explanation:

In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, and all angles measure 60°. Because of this symmetry:

• The median (a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side),

• The altitude (a perpendicular dropped from a vertex to the opposite side),

• The angle bisector, and

• The perpendicular bisector are all the same line.

So, in an equilateral triangle, the median also acts as an altitude.
